Oneida

“Home is where Oneida is.” That’s what all of the students living here say. As the
biggest building within the College-in-Woods community, Oneida Hall is home to over
300 students who are active participants in area traditions, community service events
and wear their building color, black, with pride. With a staff of ten Resident Assistants
and a Resident Director, Oneida is truly a place to live, learn and most importantly
call home.

The Oneida Hall Learning Community 2013-2014

Students in either the Mohawk or Oneida Learning Community are required to take two
courses: we recommend one of Philosophy 201B, Philo 146.3, and Poli Sci 113, and one
of the WRIT111 sections or HDEV 105. You will note that the lectures for Philo 201
and Philo 146 are at the same time, so you can take only one of those; you can however
take Poli Sci 113 together with any of the other courses, and it would be possible
to take both WRIT 111 (either section) and HDEV 105.

We have, limited to CIW students, and early availability for those who enroll in the
Oneida or Mohawk Learning Community:

• Two sections of WRIT 111, a course strongly recommended for all Freshmen (Gened
J); Tuesday and Thursday 2:50 – 4:15 and Tuesday and Thursday 4:25-5:50. This year
the theme is "Coming to Voice in the Wake of the 2012 Election." This course will
be taught in Mohawk Hall.• One section of HDEV 105: Wednesday 9:40-11:40. This course is designed to help students
adjust to the university environment. It carries Gened O credit. Taught by Roni O'Geen,
this course will be taught in Mohawk Hall.• Philosophy 201B: Plato and Aristotle. Lecture TR 10:05-11:40, special discussion
section with Faculty Master Preus W 8:30-9:30, Gened J. This course is required for
the Philosophy major and counts toward the PPL major.• Philosophy 146: Law and Justice. Lecture TR 10:05-11:40, Section 3, F 9:40, is reserved
for CIW students and is possibly the only way, as a first year student, you'll get
into this course. The lecturer is Max Pensky, Chair of the Philosophy Department.• Political Science 113: Comparative Politics TR 11:40-1:05, section 6, W 5:50-6:50.
The lecturer is Professor Heller Fordham.

The Oneida Learning Community is a great opportunity to get to know other students
with many of the same interests, and to work together with them for your first semester
in college. For more information (and for more explanation about all these confusing
academic abbreviations), please contact apreus@binghamton.edu.
